Itinerary:

Switching hikes to go to Healy Pass instead as I've read that the flowers are peaking up there right now. (I'll repost Rockbound for another time if there is interest). We start off through forest and along Healy creek before breaking out into the first meadow. From there we climb again gaining views across flower filled meadows to The Ramparts. Lunch will be at the pass before returning the same way, or if we have energy to spare through Simpson Pass (2km and 70m elevation approx). Expect 6-7 hours on the trail.

Required Items to Bring:
Everything that you need for a full day on the trail plus extra snacks and water. Be prepared for all weathers. Bug spray!!

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
